Livelympics: Ladies’ Boxing

(www.livelywomen.com) — You already know I don’t like the Olympics, but I’m all about personal fitness! Every weekday during the 2008 Olympic Games, I’ll post a workout- or fitness-related video for women. Watch them all!

This last day of videos is just for fun. First up, two women in dresses duking it out in a boxing ring in 1901, filmed by Thomas Edison.

And slightly more appropriately dressed, two women boxing at the Roseland Ballroom in the 1920s. I can’t decide which I love more: the peppy soundtrack or the fact that they do hair and makeup touch-ups between rounds.
